ARMENIANS PROTEST OUTSIDE DEUTSCHE BANK IN LOS ANGELES
More than 1,000 Armenians from across Los Angeles County held signs that read "Blood for $" and chanted "Shame on Deutsche Bank," according to Los Angeles media reports.
Demonstrators gathered at the downtown offices of Deutsche Bank A.G. Friday morning, hours after it and Dresdner Bank A.G. were slapped with a class-action lawsuit claiming they have withheld money and assets from the heirs of Armenian Genocide victims for 90 years.
"We brought this case specifically to address the wrongs committed by this bank and others who profit off the Armenian Genocide," said attorney Brian Kabateck, of Kabateck, Brown, Kellner, LLP at Friday's rally. He and Mark Geragos, of Geragos & Geragos, APC; and Vartkes Yeghiayan, of Yeghiayan & Associates, filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court.
The suit claims that the two German banks have prevented the recovery of millions in money and assets deposited by Armenians prior to World War I and the Armenian Genocide. The lawsuit also claims that the banks accepted "looted assets" taken by the Ottoman Turkey government during World War I and the Armenian Genocide. Deutsche Bank spokespersons declined any comments.
The suit seeks restitution -- which Geragos estimates in the tens of millions -- for the heirs of genocide victims.
